Overall, I think it's a good idea. I have to admit that I did at first get excited that custom value types and operator overloading might be in, but I can cope. This feature could also lead towards types that aid in SIMD optimisation for graphics work, if such is problematic right now. Even if they aren't part of this proposal, they might usefully guide some detail. Even though it's listed as a to-do, I wondered whether a discussion on overflow might be fruitful. I have no great ideas, myself, but I think that significant nimbers of people would vote for each of wrap-around, saturation, error values and exceptions. I wonder whether there's any easy way of supporting them all. Anyone have any interesting ideas? Of course, implementation costs are an important aspect.
